Poetry

Not a lot of people know that I should actually be the current Poet laureate, but the Queen seems to be of a different opinion.Here are come of my proudest poetic achievements.:

The wooden stream:

The Po is a river,the oak's a treeand no amout of poetrywill ever make the Po a tree.

or this one, my shortest one yet, has to be read by belting out the ee and the ore:

Donk ee or muleI can't tell.

or this one:

I once knew a manwho's estatewas in a state,not to mentionhis mansion.

Or this one which refers to my girlfriend, who used to have 2 allotments in southeast London and is a phonetic palindrome.

Her two allotments meant a lot to her.

Anyway, tomorrow I shall delight you with a rewrite of William Blakes famous Tiger poemfor now I will leave you with 3 more morsels of insanity, that I illustrated.When reading "Seeing Things" remember to leave a pause after the word "back" in each line...
